Today, it is difficult for him to even remember those people...Of course, this is Elder Liu's own words.

Facing this senior whose aura had already revealed the sign of decline, Lin Xiu did not continue to force him to ask questions, but turned and left after taking his leave calmly.

During this period, Elder Liu who was behind him didn't say anything to keep him back. Instead, he took out a messenger flying sword from his body with a bitter expression after three hours had passed after Lin Xiu left.

"Senior brother, senior brother... are you... what I did, and is it right or wrong?"

With all kinds of emotions so complicated that it is difficult to describe, Elder Liu injected mana into the flying sword of communication, and lightly tossed it towards the sky.

As it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky, Elder Liu closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

-----------------

Stretch out your hand, mana and consciousness combine to form an unbreakable "cage", no matter how hard the inch-long flying sword in it struggles, it can't escape the square inch in the palm,

Scanning the information recorded on it with her spiritual sense, Ke Qing asked curiously beside her: "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Lin Xiu shook his head: "No."

As he spoke, he let go of the restraint, allowing the flying sword to leave again—towards the south: "But it's almost there."

After the girl nodded, she didn't ask again, but turned to ask: "Where are we going next?"

As if expelling all the depression just now, Lin Xiu's face regained his ease: "As the last journey away from Suxuanling, let's go see an old friend."

Goal: South Luoguan.

-------------------

Nanluoguan, also known as "Nanluoguan", means "difficult to attack but never to fall".

This pass is the border of Suxuan and Xinan. It is said that when the monks in the two territories had friction with each other, it existed as a station. After various chances and coincidences, it was established as a "pass" thousands of years ago. However, it has not been able to continue to expand since then, and today it is still a town with a population of less than 50... Well, from what I hear, it is not much different from when Lin Xiu came here.

"That being said, Nanluo Pass had a prosperous time before, have you heard of it in the Shadow Palace?"

"Slightly heard."

"It is said that it was sixty... or seventy? It could also be eighty, alas, it doesn't matter, anyway, a long time ago, a very important person came to Nanluoguan, does the real person know? Destroying the city and pulling out the stronghold is nothing more than an idle existence, at that time, a real person from the Shadow Palace entered this pass."

"That person is really amazing. Originally, there were various forces mixed with fish and dragons in Nanluoguan, such as the seven major families (not the three major families?) the five major families (is there such a setting?), and the beggar gang The Iron Clothes Gang of the Hong Gang (...), it is said that there is also a messy force called "Liyue Gang (at least I know someone.)"."

"In short, Nanluoguan was a mess at that time, but after the arrival of the real person from the Shadow Palace, all these forces disappeared and evaporated from the world!"

Lin Xiu felt like throwing up, but because of his current personality, he could only pick up the teacup and slowly drink the tea... Well, the tea tastes pretty good.

The tea guest on the opposite side was a little dry after talking so much in one breath, and drank the tea that Lin Xiu invited in front of him before continuing: "It's a pity that the good times don't last long, I don't know how long it will take Time, the real person from the Shadow Palace seems to have left for some reason, and Nanluoguan began to become chaotic again after that."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu looked puzzled and said: "But according to what Lin saw when he came, there doesn't seem to be much chaos in the pass?"

With a sweep of consciousness, there was nothing dirty except for the discovery of a few Qingpis who were extorting money.

By the way, Lin Xiu continued the topic before him after using his spiritual sense to note "faintly" to those green skins.

But he didn't want to, facing Lin Xiu's question, the tea customer who happened to meet in the teahouse said in surprise, "No."

... Don't you think your words are contradictory?

"Brother Lin probably came here for the first time. The former Nanluoguan is the former Nanluoguan, and today's Nanluoguan... Hey, it is not comparable to the old days."

"Appreciate further details."

From the tea guest's description, Lin Xiu learned that after the golden core of the Shadow Palace left, Nanluoguan had indeed fallen into chaos without an owner. No matter how much dissatisfaction there is, he can only shrink back and be a human being. When he leaves, he will naturally rebound and explode.

Also because of being suppressed too hard, the chaos after the outbreak of the rebound almost turned into a civil strife that swept across the whole pass. At this time, a force suddenly emerged.

"That's a killer organization."

Lin Xiu raised his brows and raised his attention: If nothing else happens, the next step is the "topic" I want to find——

"It's called 'Assassin's Creed.'"

"puff--!"

"Hey Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?!"

"Ahem, it's just choking... Please continue."

"The 'Assassin's Creed' has shown extraordinary strength since its birth, especially the assassin named 'Sekiro', who came and went without a trace, and even assassinated a builder once silently." A great master in the late stage!"

"Yeah, it's very strong."

Facing this tea guest, Lin Xiu couldn't help but recall the encounter he had with Lin Kang here.

At that time, I used puppetry to help him change his hand, and proposed to name him "Sekiro". After a burst of inspiration, it seemed... It seemed... Maybe it was mentioned that "there is a game called 'Assassin's Creed' in my hometown. Assassin organization" and other words, he did not expect to be written down by him.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu doesn't need to confirm anything else anymore, "Sekiro" + "Assassin's Creed", if it wasn't made by that brother Lin, Lin Xiu wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.

But there is one thing that Lin Xiu didn't expect, since the last time we met in Nanluoguan, Senior Brother Lin has really stayed here for 80 years...

355. Unconventional

Nanluoguan, Xiaoqingshan.

A hidden place at the foot of the mountain.

Different from the mountains and forests that can be seen everywhere in the outside world, walking along a hidden mountain pass at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain, you can see a different scenery.

The mountain pass was very narrow at the beginning, and it was only accessible to people. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly opened up.

Inside is a large area of ​​flat land, with houses standing in forests, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo and other crops.

Different from the deserted scenery outside, there are hundreds of people living here. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one in Nanluoguan would know that there is such a hidden place here.

And in a two-story building in the center of the village, a "unconventional" meeting is going on.

The reason why it is said to be "unique" is that this "meeting" is so "weird" in terms of venue layout, atmosphere creation, and the costumes of the participants.

In the house where the windows and doors are closed, and only a few lights are left to distinguish the surrounding things, there are twelve people who are completely black—not skin color, but wrapped in a body of airtight clothing, which is tightly wrapped. There are 12 people sitting around a round table, giving people a sense of eerie horror, as if some conspiracy is breeding here...Of course, it can also be described in another word.

——Evil door.

"Since everyone is here, let's start."

Following the leader's order, the other 11 people didn't take it seriously, and began to report the gains and losses and the end of the year. Unlike this gloomy atmosphere, the reports seemed extraordinarily normal, which inevitably made people a little disappointed.

At this moment, when it was the third seat's turn to report, there was a sudden change.

"Yesterday, a monk in Tingfeng Pavilion inquired about 'Assassin's Creed'."

This speech caught the attention of the leader: "Can you know his identity?"

"I don't know yet, but according to what the servants and shopkeepers in Tingfeng Pavilion said at the time, it probably came from the outside world."

The leader nodded slightly: "Pay more attention to this matter. If this person is only out of curiosity, then ignore it. If he has other ideas...'Sekiro' will naturally solve it."

Hearing the code name "Sekiro", everyone had no opinion for a while.

Following the rest of the nine seats, they also reported their progress. Except for the person who came here suddenly and developed curiosity about "Assassin's Creed", there was nothing to pay attention to this year.

This is also natural. After all, the permanent population of Nanluoguan is only about [-], and the aura is thin and there are no special products. In the past, when the shadow palace real person was sitting in the town, it seemed that he had a short communication with Xinanling, but After the real person left, the relationship that had been established with great difficulty was suddenly broken.

Today's Nanluoguan is just a marginal pass that can be seen everywhere except for the fact that it is relatively close to the south of the river. Except for the occasional migration of ordinary people, the monks often don't see a newcomer for three to five years. It is the local monks who are controlling the operation. In this case, the "Assassin's Creed" as a monk organization naturally does not need to worry too much.

Rather than worrying about these things, what is more worth worrying about is the "activity funds" each year... Assassin organizations are also organizations, and their development and operations also cost money, and they are spirit stones that are much more precious than money.

When I was alone in the past, it was "one person is full and the whole family is not hungry", but now the organization has established and grown, but there are more than a hundred "waiting for food" mouths,

Thinking of this, the "Sekiro" dressed in black sighed secretly in his heart, and his words remained calm: "If there is nothing wrong, we will leave this time."

Naturally, the others had no objection, and left the eerie conference room one after another. They could still faintly hear murmurs and complaints, which were basically related to the atmosphere of the conference room. The black clothes were pulled down, without the vigilance that an "assassin" should have at all.

"I don't understand what Senior Brother Lin is thinking. People in this village don't see them when they look up. Is it meaningful to hide their heads and show their tails like this?"

"Hey, senior brother is also remembering hardships and thinking about sweetness, so that we don't forget the hard times."

"Not to mention, these clothes are not bad except that they are warmer in summer. My third child wants me to prepare a set for him."

"Come on, going out in this is almost like saying 'I'm suspicious'."

……

The divine sense caught the faint conversation coming from outside, and "Sekiro" shook his head.

"The way of an assassin, is it such an inconvenient thing?"

Talking to himself, he pressed his right arm subconsciously, and what came from under the clothes was not the softness unique to flesh and blood, but cold and hard.

Today, for him who has already broken through the foundation building, the help this arm can provide is quite limited. Just relying on the left-hand swordsmanship and "immortal sword intent" is enough to disdain the invincible hand of Nanluoguan. It's more like a commemoration than an assistant, and a vigilance.

To commemorate that junior who was a prodigy, and be vigilant against that period of life that was worse than death...To remind myself, I must not make the same mistakes as before, and I must always be alert to my surroundings, and I must respond when there is a turmoil. Only in this way can this "immortal" sword intent be maintained.

Relying on this concept, since learning that the Shadow Palace was taken away by the Red Heart Alliance that his junior joined, "Sekiro" quickly took action to integrate the power that the real Shadow Palace master could not bring when he left, and used it as a The core set up an intelligence agency for "Assassin's Creed", and pulled in those younger brothers and sisters who came from Xinan. On the one hand, it was used as a cover for their identities, and on the other hand, it was hoped that this could give them new motivation for their destination. .

But I don't want to, the effect of this move is unexpectedly good. The people left in the Shadow Palace in Nanluoguan were already at a loss because of the fall of the sect. " Solicitation readily accepted.

And the brothers and sisters who fled here from Xinan after all the hard work also set off again after sorting out their moods. Up to now, compared with the "He Guizong" that only exists in memory, they are based on "He Guizong" Most of the members of Assassin's Creed claim to be members.

Thinking about it in another 50 to [-] years, it is estimated that the people in this village only know "Assassin's Creed" but not "He Guizong", and he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or not.

Thinking back on what he had experienced and seen over the years, it took him a long time to realize that the night outside the window was already dark, and he shook his head unconsciously: "When I get old, I will recall the past."

"Given the age of senior brother, how can he say he is 'old'?"

Pushing open the door, the gloomy space shines like daylight when the eyes turn, facing the astonished "Assassin's Creed" founder, the holder of the undead sword intent, "Sekiro"——Brother Lin Kanglin, Lin Xiu cupped his hands A salute: "It's been a long time, brother, is he still okay?"

356. The master of the silk sword

There is no need to say much when old friends meet again.

After experiencing the excitement at the beginning and the embarrassment of reacting, the remembrance and mourning of the past followed. Lin Kang told Lin Xiu almost every detail about what he had seen and heard in Nanluoguan in these years.

Just looking at his appearance, on the contrary, it seems that he was in the dark as "Sekiro" and Lin Xiu was in the light as "Liyuegang", and the two of them jointly targeted the three major families in Nanluoguan.

During this period, there was an interesting incident that must be mentioned.

"The name 'Assassin's Creed' was inspired by the brother's inspiration after he heard what his junior brother told him that day."

Speaking of this, Lin Kang, who had already removed the camouflage from his face, had a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I'm also worried that I won't be able to find it when I return to my hometown in the future."

I have to say that this reason is quite convincing.

Just like Senior Brother Lin Kang thought, originally Lin Xiu was still thinking about how to find his location, but when he heard "Assassin's Creed", he suddenly understood, and then dispersed his consciousness to follow him all the way.

"It's not a problem, but the people in this valley that Junior Brother saw when he came..."
